Share your SkillsBuild success with us
Last summer, IBM offered access to SkillsBuild exclusively to VET TEC and VRRAP students to help learners boost their skills and qualifications for employment. As IBM and VA continue to partner to expand the SkillsBuild program this summer, we’d like to hear from you about your experience with IBM SkillsBuild and how it helped you in your career. If you have a success story to share with us or would like to be featured in our next newsletter, please email the VET TEC team with “SkillsBuild Success Story” in the subject line.

COMPACT Act
The Veterans Comprehensive Prevention, Access to Care, and Treatment (COMPACT) Act of 2020, expands care to help prevent Veteran suicide by providing no cost care to Veterans in times of crisis. Preventing Veteran suicide is VA’s top clinical priority. As of January 17, 2023, Veterans experiencing suicidal crisis will be able to visit any VA or non-VA health care facility for emergency health care at no cost. Veterans do not need to be enrolled in the VA system to use this benefit.
